Don’t really know. Cain seems conservative, in a somewhat generic, hard-to-really-pin-down way. I still have a lot of questions, to be honest. As for Palin, my support for her was because she was unique in exemplifying the absolute perfect mix of traditional conservatism, Western libertarianism, and Mid-American populism... which totally mirrors my own political philosophy like no other politician has in years. Hence, I’m not really finding a satisfying replacement candidate very easily.
I think I’m just going to sit back on the sidelines and let the primaries play out as they will. Looks like a slow-motion train-wreck to me, and I’m just not terribly inclined to be drawn into any of it.
I love your description: watching a “slow-motion train-wreck”...
I can't recall ever being emotionally detached in any prior presidential election, but detached is precisely what I am! I want the Marxist ousted and soundly defeated, -—it's imperative, but by whom? Not Romney! If he's the nominee, I'm writing-in Sarah Palin.
I met and got to personally speak with all 5 of our top tier candidates at the GOP debate in Tampa, in September. Herman Cain is very gracious, personable and of course, likeable.
His weakness is foreign policy and the first role of president is CIC, not the economy or job creation. Speaker Newt is likely the more qualified of all the candidates, particularly in foreign issues.
Herman Cain can most assuredly hire and staff the brightest and best conservative minds to help, advise and assist him in those areas.
I agree.
I’d like to add, Cain shares with Palin the appearance of genuineness and sincerity. So if (in contrast to Palin) he’s actually a professional bulls**tter, he’s real good at it. As of now, I support him for the White House.
